"Whether you're pretending to be stupid or you really are, you'd better behave yourself today, or you'll be sorry!"
Ji Zhinan smiled and replied in the same tone, "Is Mom insecure?"
"..."
"Is it a lack of confidence in your sister, or a lack of confidence in Young Master Mu?"
Madam Ji was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "How come I never realized you were so quick-witted before!"
"One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." Ji Zhinan chuckled, "With your years of education, Mother, it's no wonder your daughter is outstanding."
"..."
Unable to win an argument with Ji Zhinan, Madam Ji felt even more frustrated.
The engagement ceremony began with the host taking the stage and passionately reciting prepared lines, recounting the beautiful love story of Mu Zeyu and Ji Zhixia.
Behind them, a large screen played a loop of sweet memories of the two.
"Years have passed peacefully and serenely. That chubby-cheeked little boy and that pretty, adorable little girl, their innocent faces brimming with happy smiles. Under the loving care of their parents, nurtured by deep family affection, he has grown into a tall, handsome young man; she has blossomed into a charming young woman. By fate, they have known each other for many years and loved each other for many years. Today, witnessed by family and friends, they will pledge their lives to each other. Now, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome today's leading man to the stage!"
Amidst applause, Mu Zeyu stepped onto the stage, holding a bouquet of flowers.
Holding the microphone, he looked at the guests below the stage and said with deep emotion, "I have known Xia'er for more than ten years. She is a beautiful and lovely girl..."
After a heartfelt confession, the audience erupted in applause. Ji Zhixia, standing at the end of the red carpet, was in tears. Everything seemed perfectly harmonious, as if it had been rehearsed in advance.
Ji Pengfei led his daughter slowly toward the center of the stage, while Mu Zeyu strode forward as if he couldn't wait any longer.
The bride and groom looked at each other, and seeing Ji Zhixia in tears, Mu Zeyu smiled indulgently: "Silly girl, today is our engagement banquet, why are you crying?"
Ji Zhixia couldn't hold back any longer. She stood on tiptoe, hugged his neck, and cried, "Brother Zeyu, it all feels like a dream, I can't believe it..."
Mu Zeyu's smile widened, and he hugged her, patting the back of her head: "If you're going to be this happy every day from now on, aren't you dreaming?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Mu Zeyu's words made the audience laugh, while at the same time they envied Ji Zhixia for being lucky enough to marry for love.
Seeing this, Ji Pengfei nodded in satisfaction, "It's Xiaxia's good fortune to marry you."
Mu Zeyu held Ji Zhixia's hand, looked at Ji Pengfei, and said earnestly, "It is my blessing to be able to marry Xiaxia."
Ji Pengfei had nothing to say about his son-in-law. His mission was accomplished; after successfully handing Ji Zhixia over to Mu Zeyu, he returned to the stage.
On stage, Mu Zeyu pulled Ji Zhixia back to the center of the stage, and gave her another heartfelt confession and promise. Finally, he knelt down on one knee and held her right hand.
"Xiaxia, I will prove to you with my actions and time that marrying me was the best decision you ever made!"
Ji Zhixia covered her lips with one hand, letting out two sobs of emotion: "Mmm!"
Mu Zeyu personally put the engagement ring on Ji Zhixia's finger and then kissed the back of her hand affectionately.
The two couldn't help themselves and embraced passionately on the spot.
Another round of applause erupted from the audience, and Ji Zhinan clapped enthusiastically in response. Especially when he saw the ring on her hand, and then glanced at the tearful Ji Zhixia, a smile gradually widened on his lips...
